I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Rebecca

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about education and instilling a lifelong love of learning in my students. After graduating from Duke University with a degree in both linguistics and English and a certificate in "Policy Journalism & Media Studies," I enrolled in a two year master's program at the University of Notre Dame. During these two years, I completed my coursework for a master's degree in education while teaching in an under-resourced school in Dallas, Texas. There I taught the skills of effective writing, speaking, and listening to students in grades 6 through 8 in grammar, vocabulary, literature, and writing classes. I would like to continue helping students realize their full potential by tutoring them in what I am most passionate about--the art of the written and spoken word. I now live in Washington, D.C., and am eager to continue pursuing work in the field of education.
